Be Grateful

We arrived to Destin on Saturday around 3(ish) central time. I must say it definitely started off pretty rocky. When we found our house/villa the access code to open the door did not work. A problem easily overcome after contacting the owner. However, the place had not been cleaned from the last tenants and that took a bit longer to remedy. My grandma made the trip fairly well but we couldn't find something to do just so the cleaning people could be alone to tidy up. So that was a bit awkward and aggravating. Actually, I was pissed by this point. About an hour later the cleaning crew left and we attempted to find something on the TV for my grandma to listen to. What was that, oh yeah, the cable wasn't working (serious sarcasm in that sentence). There was a bit of a silver lining to this, I was able to access Netflix through the Wii and the TVs upstairs were working (this is really important for teenagers) without any necessary repairs. Needless to say this has been irritating and tiring.

I'm pretty sure I may have been close to the critical boiling point Saturday. When you think you might be more content in the local jail after bringing a Wal Mart patron to the ground in the dairy isle I think you can safely say you've reached the danger zone. I still felt like I was recovering this morning until I saw the most recent post from Jil. The inspirational postcard was just enough to make me exhale and feel better about the trip. You turned my "Bemoan" post into a better perspective. Hopefully I will have some great pictures and fun stories from the rest of the week....none of which should be from behind bars.
